How DePIN is Playing an Important Role in the Future of RWA Tokenisation 🚀 Decentralised Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) are changing the game RWA tokenisation. But what exactly is DePIN? In a nutshell, it's a way of using blockchain technology to create networks of connected devices, machines, and vehicles that can provide services in the real world. By enabling secure and transparent tokenisation of these physical assets, DePIN is opening up new possibilities for investors. One of the biggest impacts of DePIN? Fractional ownership. By tokenising expensive assets like solar panels and autonomous vehicles, DePIN lowers the barrier to entry for individual investors. The total value locked in RWAs has nearly doubled in 2023, growing from $1.44bn to $2.5bn (Galaxy). But DePIN isn't just about making investing more accessible. It's also introducing new models of governance. With DAOs and smart contracts, stakeholders can collectively manage tokenised assets in a transparent and efficient way, reducing the need for centralised authorities. And that's not all. DePIN networks are leveraging new tech like IoT and AI to optimise asset utilisation and create new revenue streams. This is incentivizing investment in valuable physical assets like renewable energy plants, aligning financial returns with positive social and environmental outcomes. In short, DePIN is changing the RWA tokenisation space. By fostering transparency, accessibility, and new economic opportunities, it's creating a more inclusive and sustainable future. - - - Meet moreliquid. moreliquid is a digital assets platform that offers end-to-end services to asset managers for tokenised securities. ▶ Follow us, moreliquid ▶ Subscribe to our newsletter: https://lnkd.in/g2ZY8QTX
